Mindfulness
Mindfulness is much more than a set of activities and originates as a practice that is and was part of multiple Asian and Middle Eastern philosophies and religions (including Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam). We, in the US, are lucky to benefit from the wisdom shared with us from cultures that practice mindfulness about its benefits to well-being.
